The Wizard of Wall Street viii Travel in Over
whelming Style.
Chicago Journal
Ever tireless in the pursuit of his de-
sires, and overcoming all obstacles that
m ~ lie in his path, Mr.. Jay Gould, wizard
of Wall street, has at last discovered the
answer to the question, lately PROFOUND
ed by him, "What more can a rich man
have than food, clothes and homer"
Having found no satisfactory answer
in the ownership and enjoyment of the
most magnifceetly equipped yacht that
floats, nor in the control and manage
ment of more miles of railroad than have
ever been under the direction of any five
men, nor yet in the possession of what
Disraeli calls shat sweet sense of power"
when his certified check for twenty mil
lions created such a fear in Wall street
circles that so large an amount of money
would be withdrawn from circulation that
| a call was made by the New York bankers
| on the National treasury for an order
calling in a large amount of bonds and
| flooding the market with their equivalent
| in money, Mr. Gould has now concluded
| that a private car, built after the most
elaborate and improved plans, will prove
the missing link in his chain of expert
ments. He has already a private car, but
| it is old, and . new one must take Its
place.
The order for such a car mas been late
| ly lodged with the Pullman company and
work on it commenced. atlanta" will
| be its name. The cost of the Wizards
new toy is to be in the neighborhood of
| $4,000. 1t will be 20 feet long, 10 feet
wide and 6 feet inches high, and divi2
ed into five apartments, beginning with
the kitchen, then the parlor, next pri-
vate room, and lastly the observation
room. The kitchen will be supplied with
the most approved utensils, and will be
| finished in black walnut.
| The parlor, which will occupy the main
part OF the car, will be finished in satin
wood ard oak. The windows are to be of
the large combination Gothic order, set in
single sash of mahogany. The glass
will be the finest polished plate. hand
! some book case and desk will he on the
right side of the parlOr, and in the center
a large extension table. Several comfort
able easy chairs will be distributed around
the room, and in one end an inviting
! lounge will attempt the Wizard to rest
his weary frame. Italian carvings will be
tastefully distributed.
The ceiling will be artistically decorat-
ed, and the floor of yellow pine will be
mostly concealed by thick velvet car
! pet. The doors leading to the front of
the car will be embossed after the French
style, with polished mirrors in which Mr..
| Gould may see the concentrated essence
of a money king. Rich tapestry curtains
will hang in the other doorways. The
refulgent rays from four massive silver
| plated lamps will turn the darkness of
night int daylight and present to the
| common herd outside, unless heavy cur
| tains bar their sight, momentum
! glimpse of the discomforts of the wealthy.

| to correspond with the rest of the car and
| arranged so as to be made into two bed
| rooms at night, each of which will be

provements for the removal of travel
stains will separaed the private room
| from the observation room to which
access may be gained by another passage
way around the side. The ceiling of the
| observation room will be of notified ma
hogany. High backed, spiral-springed,
plush covered chairs, will abound The
sides and rear will be chiefly of heavy
plateglass through which the richest
man in America, while flying toward his
journeys end with lightning like rapid
| ty, may gaze with these brilliant eyes Of
his upon the ever changing panorama of
rich fields, lofty mountains, barren des-
erts, betokening alike peace, plenty,
| grandeur and starvation, and perhaps
inducing him to reflect upon its similari-
ty to life with all his past laid open be-
fore him, and knowing not what the next
scene may be.
